Collaboration with 3 Leading Artists
LG Display has exhibited digital masterpieces created by three leading Korean artists for its organic light emitting diode (OLED) TVs.
The company announced on Jan. 25 that it has received a fine art work from each of the three artists who collaborated with the company. They are all professors of the Fine Art College of Seoul National University -- oriental painter Kim Sung-hee, sculptor Lee Yong-deok and ceramic artist Han Jeong-yong. They donated their works, which were created for presentation through OLED TVs, to the company.
The collaboration project between LG Display and the three artists were titled “The Black Paper.” It was aimed to realize essential materials and expression techniques of fine art in digital works based on OLED TV's superb black and color reproduction rate. The project was launched in October of 2018.
The project was dubbed the Black Paper as the screen of an LG OLED TV can be compared to a black paper. The project was meaningful as an attempt to pioneer a new digital arts field by combining fine art and digital technology through OLED TVs, the company said.
LG Display plans to publicize these works and their images via OLED TVs in overseas exhibitions and PR materials.
